Looking for new maintainers!
This project is currently unmaintained. We'd love to turn it over to a new maintainer. If you're interested, please file an issue!
Write dBase files in pure JavaScript, in node.js or browsers. Requires ArrayBuffer and DataView support.
usage
npm install dbf
Or just in a browser:
https://unpkg.com/dbf@latest/dbf.js
Replace latest
with the latest version if you want to be sure.
example
in node:
var dbf = require('../'),
fs = require('fs');
var buf = dbf.structure([
{foo:'bar',noo:10},
{foo:'louie'}
]);
fs.writeFileSync('foo.dbf', toBuffer(buf.buffer));
function toBuffer(ab) {
var buffer = new Buffer(ab.byteLength);
var view = new Uint8Array(ab);
for (var i = 0; i < buffer.length; ++i) {
buffer[i] = view[i];
}
return buffer;
}
